Texas' Brown getting hefty pay raise

AUSTIN, Texas -- Longhorns coach Mack Brown is getting a raise that
would put him among the highest paid coaches in college football,
school officials said.

Brown, who won the national championship with a 41-38 Rose Bowl
victory over Southern California earlier this month, will receive
an annual salary of at least $2.5 million, Texas men's Athletic
Director DeLoss Dodds said.

Brown, 54, earned $2.159 million last season and is due for
another $100,000 as part of a 10-year agreement that was announced at the end
of the 2005 season.

"We've always wanted to keep him in the top five in the
country, where he belongs," Dodds said.
